داستان کوتاه فارسی با سادات
قسمت اول : یک مهربانی کوچک در اتوبوس

دیروز که میخواستم برم سرِکار، سوار اتوبوس شدم بیشتر صندلی‌ها پر بود، ولی یه صندلی خالی کنار پنجره دیدم و همونجا نشستم.

چند دقیقه بعد، یه پیرمرد سوار اتوبوس شد. آروم دور و برش رو نگاه کرد، انگار دنبال یه جای خالی می‌گشت. من بلند شدم و گفتم:

«بفرمایید، اینجا بشینید.»

پیرمرد با یه لبخند قشنگ نشست و گفت:

«پیر شی جوون!»

منم لبخند زدم و کنار در ایستادم. وقتی به مقصدم رسیدم و از اتوبوس پیاده شدم، با خودم فکر کردم که مهربونی همیشه کارهای بزرگ نیست؛ گاهی یه کار خیلی کوچیک باعث می‌شه یه دعای خیر از ته دل بشنوی.

پیر شی جوون؛ یه دعای قشنگ و پرمحبته که یعنی:
"الهی عمر طولانی، همراه با سلامتی و خوشبختی داشته باشی"


Persian Expression of the Day
پیر شی جوون (Pir shi javoon)
This is a warm Persian blessing that older people often say to younger people to show appreciation for their kindness or help.
Literal meaning: "May you become old, young one."
Natural meaning: "May you live a long, healthy, and happy life." "May you enjoy a long life."
It's a heartfelt way of saying "Thank you" while wishing someone a long life filled with health, dignity, and happiness


📚 Useful words:

سوار شدن (savār shodan)

Example: من سوار اتوبوس شدم.

پیاده شدن (piāde shodan)
= to get off a vehicle

بفرمایید (befarmāyid)

Streetwise English Podcast - Pink Floyd
Welcome back to another mini episode of Streetwise English podcast. You can search for Streetwise English Podcast on other platforms and find full length episodes, but these are just mini podcasts. Today I'd like to talk about music, and specifically I'd like to talk about an English band called Pink Floyd. So Pink Floyd was big back in the 1970s. And I remember as a kid my dad had the album The Dark Side of the Moon, and the cover Art of the Dark Side of the Moon was a prism, like a triangle.
And then on the right side of the prism was a rainbow. So the spectrum of colors in light and this album was groundbreaking at the time because it was kind of a new genre of music. It was psychedelic rock, so there were soundscapes and they were using synthesizers and electric instruments in ways that people had never done before. And I looked, I Googled it, checked on the Wikipedia page, and it says that The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album of the English rock band Pink Floyd released on March 1st 1973 the record was conceived as an album that focused on the pressures faced by the band during their arduous lifestyle. And dealing with the apparent mental health problems suffered by former band member Syd Barrett, who was a part of the group in 1968.
So in my research, um, my brief research here on Pink Floyd I learned about Syd Barrett and that he was the founding member of the band who left the group and I guess he had some kind of mental illness and experimented with a lot of psychedelic drugs. Um, and he kind of disappeared from the band, but it seems like he was probably maybe the most talented one and the original member of the band and kind of helped form, form their style of exploring sonic soundscapes and free flow of consciousness and the way that he would create the lyrics and...
